FBC Firebreak is a first-person shooter where you and your friends play as agents of the Federal Bureau of Control, facing off against supernatural dangers. It’s slated to hit PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S in late 2025. According to IGN’s announcement, it’s a bold step into co-op territory for Remedy, building on the Control universe we already love.

Gameplay and Features

The game’s standout feature is the ‘Firebreak’ mechanic, letting players tweak the environment, like throwing up barriers or shifting pathways. GameSpot’s preview notes how this adds a layer of strategy to the chaos. Paired with smart enemy AI that keeps you on your toes. Teamwork is key, and with missions that change each time you play, it’s got a lot of replay value.
